Quick Edit! -Edit posts directly from within the thread itself

Hi,

This hack will allow your users to Edit their posts without having to load the editpost page..

How it works: In the bottom lefthand corner of all your posts will be a small "QuickEdit" radio button (users will only see it in posts which belong to them).. When you click it a small text box will instantly drop down below your post allowing you to edit it in the thread itself.
This will save you a lot of time when fixing those spelling mistakes, typos, or broken links.

Very easy to install.. One file edit, two template edits, and one template to add.

Credits: Thanks to T?Pau's javascript add-on this hack now works with Mozilla.

Update: For those who prefer an image button instead of a radio button use these instructions.
Note: Image button version does not work with mozilla browsers!

Also, added a check box for the signature to both versions.

Quick Edit for VB3 can be found here.

Instructions for those who have already installed my QuickQuote 1 hack:

{edit} These instructions are for those who have already installed the Quick Quote I hack, not Quick Quote II. QuickQuote II users will still need to use the instructions in the first post.

Yes, if you want mods and admins to see the QuickEdit option in all posts, in admin/functions.php just use this instead of the code in the instructions:

if (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] ==5) || ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] ==6) || ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] ==7) or ($post[username] == $bbuserinfo[username])) {
    $edittext = htmlspecialchars($post[pagetext]);

eval("\$quickedit = \"".gettemplate('showthread_quickedit')."\";");
} else {
$edittext="";
$quickedit="";
}
